Art is not just displayed: it is also a commodity that circulates internationally.
From this perspective, the arteba 2025 fair will offer a stage to observe how Argentine art is projected in the world. From August 29th to 31st, with pre-openings on the 27th and 28th, the Costa Salguero Center will gather 67 galleries and over 400 artists from Argentina and abroad, consolidating itself as a meeting point between artistic creation and international trade.
With Santander as the main sponsor, arteba 2025 opens its new edition and reaffirms its position as one of the most important art fairs in Latin America.

The program includes other interesting sections, tours, talks and networking actions During the fair and its pre-opening, promoting training, dialogue, and critical thinking on art, the market, and the cultural challenges of the contemporary world.
Safe trade
Given this dynamic, it is recommended that the actors involved consider the regulatory updates and simplification of procedures in our country for the international circulation of works of art, as recently explained in his column by Argentine lawyer Eduardo Mallea, as compliance facilitates safe and efficient trade.
